Sizing a long text field in a single row window

Hi there,

I am evaluating the data entry capabilities of DAI, and on a prototype Entry window I try to size a field to present a varchar(255) column in a field of 80 char long on 4 lines.
The field in design can be extended to the right (anyway 255 char on one line would be impossible) but not down.
What is the trick ?
Awaiting your reaction
Regards

JL D

Hi JL,

You have to change the form field type to "Memo" on the "Form details" Tab. This will allow you to resize the input box and make it multi-line.

..or here's a from scratch example:
